<H3><A NAME="M5">DESCRIPTION</A></H3>
<B>Tk_ClearSelection</B> cancels the selection specified by the atom
<I>selection</I> for the display containing <I>tkwin</I>.
The selection need not be in <I>tkwin</I> itself or even in
<I>tkwin</I>'s application.
If there is a window anywhere on <I>tkwin</I>'s display that
owns <I>selection</I>, the window will be notified and the
selection will be cleared.
If there is no owner for <I>selection</I> on the display, then the
procedure has no effect.
